    This is basically what CodeBuild does.

    The default Docker containers that CodeBuild uses (you can create your own) and the shell script it uses to parse the yaml configuration file (mostly a list of shell scripts) are all open source and the entire process can be run locally.

    Disclaimer: I work for AWS. But nowhere near the team that developed Firecracker

  • CircleCI says hackers stole encryption keys and customers’ source code

    Disclaimer: I work for AWS in Professional Services. All opinions are my own.

    The beauty about CodeBuild is that there is no “lock-in”. All it is fundamentally is a Linux or Windows Docker container with popular language runtimes and a shell script that processes a yaml file or you can supply your own Docker container.

    You just put a bunch of bash commands or PowerShell commands in the yaml file and it runs anything.

    The Docker container and the shell scripts are all open source and you can quite easily run them locally.

    I could see outside of AWS keeping your Docker containers for your specific build environments in a local repository and doing all of your builds inside them using Jenkins.

    For a “batteries included” approach though, I really like Azure DevOps Pipelines.

    I’ve even done a couple of integrations between Azure DevOps and AWS when we had clients that are Microsoft shops.

    https://aws.amazon.com/vsts/

    For AWS, if you use CodeCommit (AWS git service), all access is via IAM and granular permissions. If you integrate with Azure DevOps, the AWS credentials do have to be stored in a separate MS hosted credential storage.

    CodeBuild also supports at least Github natively.

    I’m not shilling for AWS. I have an MS development background (.Net) and only have “DevOps” experience using AWS and Microsoft tooling.

  • Continuous Integration and Deployment on AWS - and a wishlist for CI/CD Tools on AWS
    4 projects | dev.to | 22 Nov 2022
    Docker Images provided by the CodeBuild team should be updated regularly and should support all "modern" toolkits. The open source project has some activity, but an issue for supporting newer Android versions is now open for some time...
  • Building a Flutter application for Web, iOS and Android using a CI/CD pipeline on CodeBuild – #cdk4j
    3 projects | dev.to | 14 Jun 2022
    The runtimes available and exposed by CodePipeline support Android runtime 29 – and the Docker images are provisioned using Java 8. Unfortunately, as of July 2021, the Android gradle tools (used by Flutter) require Java 11. I have created an issue in the corresponding Github (see here) but needed to find a workaround to move on – I think I’ve found one, but I hope that anyone reading this might have a better way or idea?

    Resource usage. Running a full VM to execute only two processes is a big waste of the limited resources of my server (8GB RAM, Celeron processor). I searched and I found something to limit the resource usage and minimize the attack surface of the guest OS: Weave Ignite/Firecracker/MicroVMs.

  • Ignite – Use Firecracker VMs with Docker-Like UX
    6 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 26 Sep 2022
    > If it's not hard to name a thing that Firecracker makes difficult for a serverside workload, could you... name one?

    I already did that with live migration. But ok.

    Encrypted storage: https://github.com/firecracker-microvm/firecracker/issues/65...: WONTFIX

    The answer given is appropriate for firecracker use cases but insufficient otherwise. I'm not anti-firecracker; it's the right choice for many things. Just not all things.

    The sort of VM I want orchestrated has encrypted (by contract) multi-pathed network block devices to encrypted storage volumes. 3-10 per tenant. This is trivial for a full-featured kernel; multi-path just works, encryption just works.

    VLAN: https://github.com/weaveworks/ignite/issues/810: Open. Maybe one day.

    Again, trivial for a full-featured Linux kernel.

    I think you're missing the point. It's not about what hypothetical thing firecracker can or can't do. It's about elevating VM orchestration to some degree of parity with what has been created for container orchestration. These VMs and their complex storage and networking requirements should be modeled as we model containers now; through an orchestration system that makes management easy and as foolproof as possible. The fact that firecracker isn't sufficient to be the Micro-VM of choice for this isn't relevant.
